[RFC PATCH v2 06/10] genirq: Don't mask IRQ within flow handler if IRQ is flow-masked

mask_irq() lets an IRQ with IRQD_IRQ_FLOW_MASKED set be further masked via
chip->irq_mask(). This is necessary for unhandled IRQs as we want to keep
them masked beyond eoi_irq() (which clears IRQD_IRQ_FLOW_MASKED).

This is however not necessary in paths that do end up handling the IRQ and
are bounded by a final eoi_irq() - this is the case for chips with
IRQCHIP_AUTOMASKS_FLOW and IRQCHIP_EOI_THREADED.

Make handle_strict_flow_irq() leverage IRQCHIP_AUTOMASKS_FLOW and issue an
ack_irq() rather than a mask_ack_irq() when possible.
